 My daughter was born with hearing loss after using this product Nov 26, 2008
By Ruth Greenfield
"Ruth Greenfield"
Starting at around 30 weeks, I used the BabyPlus system as directed. My daughter was in a breached position (head up), with her left ear facing my outer stomach for most of the pregnancy. Due to her positioning, the BabyPlus system was playing primarily into her left ear. She was born on July 16th (2008), with permanent (moderate - possibly moderate to severe) sensorineural hearing loss in her left ear. This type of hearing loss is mainly "..due to poor hair cell function. The hair cells may be abnormal at birth...There are both external causes of damage, like noise trauma ..." My husband's family and my family do not have any history of hearing loss. Needless to say, we're in shock. Our daughter will be wearing a hearing aid for the rest of her life - starting now, at 4 months old. I cannot guarantee that the hearing loss was caused by this product; but, this seems like too much of a coincidence. I regret using this product and would like to hear from anyone who has had a similar experience. I could not keep a clear conscience, if I did not post this warning.

 Nature vs. Nurture Aug 03, 2008
By SAHM I am
I borrowed this product from a friend of mine for my second pregnancy. My second baby was about on par with my first baby as far as early verbal skills, which is currently the ONLY proven sign of possible giftedness. I think that this product has a lot to do with the parents that are able to buy/gain access to it. Parents who have the money/are willing to spend the money on this sort of system are often the same parents who spend a great deal of time with their children. This is probably the main factor in determining early and later skills. Of course, I am not discouraging its use as it certainly can't hurt, but I think we need to give ourselves a bit more credit for being the fabulous mommies that we are!

 Worth the Time and Money Oct 21, 2005

I definitely recommend the BabyPlus. Sure, the extended family made fun of us, calling it "the knocker" and saying we were nerds and we would drive the baby nuts . . . but she is almost 18 months now and ("knock" wood) she has always been an excellent sleeper, a healthy eater, has a wonderful disposition, loves music, books and art, and already has over 100 words. Now I'm pregnant again, and in addition to the healthy diet, exercise, regular belly talking, and eventually breastfeeding, BabyPlus is once again part of the plan. Oh, like another reviewer, I too have found customer service to be extremely responsive. Good company, great product.

AMAZING!!!! Nov 10, 2005
By Jennifer Allen
"Ryleigh & Macie's mommy"
This product is just as necessary and beneficial as your prenatal vitamins, in my opinion. I used Baby Plus starting at 19 weeks pregnant with our daughter, who is now 26 months. Of course, everyone I told was skeptical, but I thought, "What can it hurt?". When she was born, she was alert and didn't cry at all. She was wide eyed and aware. She slept through the night from the day we brought her home, only waking to eat but went right back to sleep. She then of course hit all of her milestones early; sitting by herself at 5 months, crawling at 6 months, walking at 9 1/2 months. She weaned herself from a bottle. She took her last drink from a bottle the day of her first birthday and never wanted it again. Since her 1st birthday it has been one amazing accomplishment after another. People that meet her think she is closer to 4; not having just turned 2. They marvel at how well behaved she is and I am often asked by pregnant friends, "how can I make sure my baby turns out like her?" She retains information and has a memory that is unbelievable; she will bring up something in clear detail that happened 3 months before that hasn't even been talked about since. She can sing pretty much any song she hears on the radio and knows every nursery rhyme/song by heart. She has conversations with people around her like a 5 year old would, as her speech is completely intelligible. She has been saying her ABCs since 20 months and can count to 20. She also knows all colors and shapes which she has known for the last couple of months. And she also is the most outgoing child. She gets along well and shares with all of her friends at Mother's Day Out and had no separation anxiety about going. I am now 36 weeks pregnant with our second daughter and I have been using the Baby Plus with this one as well, beginning at 20 weeks. At 27 weeks I had to go into the hospital as I was having some very strong Braxton Hicks that my doctor was concerned about. The L&D nurse told us that our baby was just very active and they have rarely seen such neurological development in a fetus of 27 weeks. She said that typically they don't see a fetus' brain development that active until 33 weeks. Needless to say, we are HUGE supporters of BabyPlus and everything you read about it is TRUE!!

A Wonderful Investment May 10, 2006
By Heaven's Mama
This has to be the best investment you can make towards your child before they are born, and the results will effect them for their whole life! It felt like a big commitment for me to have to run the program 2 times a day, and near the end of my pregnancy I was annoyed with having anything strapped across my belly, but I am so glad I pushed through. My daughter is AMAZING! I am in awe at her sweet spirit and her advancement. Baby Plus did everything it promised and more! Here are some examples:
At birth: eyes wide open, hands open, instant excellent nurser, slept 4-6 hours at night, very calm and happy, cried only when hungry.
At 1 month: smiling all the time at everyone, sleeping 8-10 hrs. at night., recognized mom and dad's faces.
At 2 months: laughing, holding head up
At 3 months: pressing buttons on toys for 6mos +, rolling both directions, holding own bottle
At 4 months: sitting with support
At 5 months: sitting without support, drinking from sippy cup, singing, saying first words
At 6 months: puts self to sleep, pulled self to standing position, creeping... and now almost crawling.
I am completely amazed at her advancements. People mistake her for being 3-6 months older than she is, and they say she is the happiest baby they have ever known.
I am totally sold on Baby Plus!
